Townhall at Chapters | Ep #2 : The Traffic Paradox

We're building more flyovers than ever, yet our commutes are getting longer. We're launching new metros, but our streets remain choked. Why do our solutions to urban traffic seem to fail us? Join us for a critical conversation with transport expert Pravesh Biyani that challenges our most basic assumptions. We'll ask the hard questions: Are metros the right answer for Tier-2 cities? Why can't we build a decent footpath? And where should we be investing our energy to learn from the world's best-run cities? This isn't just a talk about traffic; it's a deep dive into the blueprint for India's urban future.
